Introduction
In contentbird, you can comment on content and provide feedback directly within your team. Various features are available depending on whether you want to give general feedback, comment on specific text passages, or provide structured workflow feedback.
Explanation of the Feature
There are three main types of comments:
Outline comments → general feedback
Inline comments → directly within the text
Workflow feedback → as part of tasks and approvals
Usage and Features
🗨️ 1. Outline Comments (General Feedback)
📍 Location: Right-hand sidebar in the content ticket
Here, you can provide high-level feedback on the content, for example:
“Please add supporting data”
“Align with PR team”
💡 Tip:
Use @name to mention and notify colleagues directly.
🔍 2. Inline Comments (Directly in the Text)
Inline comments refer to specific parts of the text.
How it works:
Highlight a section in the editor
Click the comment icon
Leave your feedback
👉 Examples:
“An example is missing here”

specific improvement suggestions
💬 3. Workflow Feedback (Process-Based)
When working within a workflow:
Click “Feedback and change request”
Enter your feedback
Send it back to the previous editor

Special feature:
Feedback is directly linked to the task
